[advocacy-discuss] Logo/Mascot Continued...

[Rob Giltrap]

FYI, I don't think the Mozilla logo is even a dragon, it's a 
godzilla/dinosaur type creature isn't it? Also that image is hardly even 
associated with mozilla anymore the fox, bird around the world logos for 
Firefox/Thunderbird are their real assets now. Also, given that 
OpenSolaris and Mozilla are noncompeting open source organizations then 
it's probably easier to just discuss any potential concern up front.
